Maureen, great poem and a very creative take on the contest. My mother always listened to classical music and so now I love it too.

Thank you Constance! My mum loved Roxy Music and Alison Moyet, that I remember, I love them too. I didn't get my love of classical from her (she lived Richard Clayderman, not me, give me Beethoven any day!) xomo

I worship my old Vinyl LPs ... I consider rarities of thought and I think a mother must be where she wants to be ...salute dear Maureen, alkas

I have to say I know nothing of Bette Midler other then the film "The Rose" which was Janis Joplin, but, Maureen, your words are where they are meant to be. Perhaps I'm totally off, but I gathered that the "mother" was the original, and that the others were copies. Simply flip and play them over and they will duplicate as infinidem; until a divine madness may be reached (?)

My Mum would play random stations on the radio. We didn't get a stereo until 1971, but it was quadraphonic with an 8 track player. I did the same as you but with Zappa's "Apostrophe" 8 track.

That's wonderful Maureen. I don't mean driving your Mother crazy playing the same record lol.

Totally off, but delightfully so. Mother as positive role model... I was eight, very formative time to latch onto something. It was that concert album and Kate Bush's Never Forever that I drove mum crazy with, over and over and over...
